Default A/C wont turn off

Hey guys
My brother has a 2001 civic ex with 5 speed, when we bought the car the radio didn't work because we needed to put in the security code. So my dad took the radio out but when he put it back together he forgot to plug the three buttons on the bottom of the radio panel in ( the a/c, defrost and curculate)

Well I pluged them back in and everything worked fine except when the fan is on the a/c button is lit and you can hear tha a/c condenser fan running, it only turns off when the fan is turned off. Even with the heat on and so on, I can't seem to disengage the a/c????

Has anyone had this issue befor and how would you guys suggest fixing it?

that's how it is, the a/c helps to defrost the window. it didn't happen because of you changing the radio or leaving the plug off, that's how it is made. you just never noticed it.

there's a way to disable it, i forget how.

edit: amazing how the search button works...you should try it sometime

1) Have the car turned off.

2) Turn the "air condition position" **** to the left all the way (counter-clock-wise).

3) Hold the "air-recirculation button" and the "A/C" button "DOWN". (don't touch the "defrost" button)

4) Start the car with the "BUTTONS" held down, and wait for 7 seconds.

5) All done. You can turn the "A/C" off and on now.


P.S. To turn the original feature back on, repeat all steps, but for "STEP 2", turn the **** all the way to the "right" (clock-wise).</TD></TR></TABLE>
